Well, my dad used to take me on specials from Nottingham to Plymouth in the early 1980's and maybe the late 1970's . . . . some were very special, we had breakdowns and trees on the lines and trysts between young football supporters and snogs between trains (them were the days) (think I was included there too!) . . we had tuck shops in the break vans.... what is not to find terribly exciting especially with a huge railway timetable in your hand . . . and then I rail rovered round UK and Australia . . . and now save up for steam train journies when I can, but always love a 37 or 50!
